Life Sciences
Our strength in life sciences research lies an interdisciplinary approach to real world problems, the development of unique state-of-the-art facilities, and through collaboration between Schools and other research institutions. The interdisciplinary research interests and state-of-the-art facilities provide a unique environment for integrative research.
The School of Engineering & Physical Sciences hosts a number research projects at the interface between engineering, the physical sciences and the life sciences. The Institute of Biological Chemistry, Biophysics and Bioengineering applies advances in the chemical, physical, and engineering sciences to enable and enhance life science research. Multidisciplinary teams conduct world-class bio-imaging, bio-processing, bio-fuel, and food research. Research in the Institute of Photonics and Quantum Sciences includes the development of micro-fluidic bioreactor devices.
